Hi Chevy
Before you go and spend any money - you really have to be careful with the SB Ford varieties for alternator brackets. I have no clue how many that there are for these engines but it depends on the head, whether it has bolt holes or not and occasionally the bolt thread or in some cases, occasionally Ford mounted them on the timing housing. And yep, I'm speaking from experience
My current engine, a crate motor with GT40P heads - about as common garden variety head - was a study in frustration for me and for Street and Performance in Arkansas. After several tries, I ended up with 'something close', then had to add a 1/8" shim for proper alignment.
Another - a 351W, I used an ARP stud, a junkyard adjuster and a home made bracket.Dave W

Thanks for the offer of the help Ted! I may still take you up on that.
I was concerned about what Dave (IC2) said, about getting the correct ones for my motor. I know the 302's have been around for a long time, so there is likely some differences. I'm going to see if any of the fellows can confirm which bracket kits fit my 90 GT motor, if they can.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
